Parramatta Gaol
Home of the Expo

Parramatta Gaol is considered one of Australia’s more important historical sites. Constructed between 1835-1842, it was, until it’s closure in 2011, Australia’s oldest serving gaol. Ownership of the building was transferred to the Deerubbin Local Aboriginal Land Council in 2015.


This beautiful, walled sandstone and slate structure is a significant cultural resource that reflects the major changes in penal design over a 170-year period. The state heritage listed Gaol complex, together with other early government institutions located along the eastern side of the upper Parramatta River, form an important group of historical structures that define the North Parramatta Precinct, known as the Heritage Core.

The organisers of the Oz Para Expo are the official Paranormal Tour Guides at Parramatta Gaol. More information on the paranormal events can be found on our website.

You will pass the Female Factory and Cumberland Asylum on your left, and will see the gaol at the end of the road. This is the entrance you want.

If you are coming from North Parramatta direction, please drive along Church Street, turn right at Grose Street, then right into O'Connell Street, and left Fennell Street - following directions as noted above.
